I'm trying to figure out whether I should get a sat and directivo or stick with my local stuff and get replaytv.
-Reasons for sat would be all the extra stations. $40 a month free tivo receiver
-Reasons for ReplayTV DVArchive would let me store my programs on my home server. But its $12.95 just for the service and $140 for a 5040 receiver.
Another thing I have to consider is right now theres lots of trees surrounding my house and in the summer not sure if I could get a clear view of the sky(even ontop the roof) so not sure how well sat will perform in the summer, but we are going to moving this winter, so will probably have a better view than. Any opinions on this would be appreciated. I've never had cable or sat so I can live w/o it but paying 12.95 a month just for the replaytv service plus $140 for the unit is hard to grasp also
